About Faculty Excellence

Faculty Excellence University-Level Winners

In 1988, the UA Little Rock Foundation Fund Board instituted awards for faculty excellence at both the college and university levels. Three categories of awards are given – in teaching, public service, and research or creative endeavors – and each award consists of a cash gift and a framed certificate. The college-level awards are in the amount of $1,000. The university-level awards are in the amount of $5,000, in total, each for public service, research and creative endeavors, and teaching.
